Thick, flaky scalp patches: gentle care basics
Thick, flaky patches on the scalp or body are frustrating and often embarrassing. The instinct is to scratch, scrub or try every product at once, which usually makes things worse. Gentle, targeted care is the better path, along with a proper diagnosis when patches persist.

The 20% that gets 80% of results
1. Don't scratch or pick at flakes. 2. Use a gentle, non-stripping wash. 3. Apply any targeted ointment only to the patch, never to healthy skin. 4. Get persistent or spreading patches diagnosed by a dermatologist.
“Treat the patch gently, and get persistent patches diagnosed.”
Why diagnosis matters
Several different conditions can cause flaky patches, and each needs a different approach. A dermatologist can tell them apart.
Where D-plaque LPC Ointment fits
D-plaque is an intensive topical ointment for stubborn, flaking patches. Its ointment format stays where you place it. Apply a thin layer to the affected patch only, following the directions on your pack, and wash your hands afterwards.
Its full ingredient list and approved indications are awaiting manufacturer confirmation, so we make no treatment claims. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, confirm with your dermatologist before you start.
